The American League Central is one of
six divisions in Major League baseball. It was formed in the realignment in
1994, and all five of its member teams are located in the Midwestern United
States. It is also the only division in Major League baseball in which all of
its members have won the World Series at least once.

One of the star teams of the Central
Division, having won the World Series a total of six times, is the Minnesota
Twins. The Twins is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is named after the Twin
Cities area of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The team was founded in Kansas City in 1894 as theKansas City Blues of theWestern League.The team moved to Washington, D.C. in
1901 as one of the eight original teams of the American League, named the Washington SenatorsorWashington Nationals.

The Twins have been doing pretty well in
the American League season, placing at number 2 in the Central Division with an
almost even win/loss ratio.

And it seems that one of the Twins players to watch
out for is Aaron Hicks. The switch hitter Major League rookie might only be 23
but has some serious accomplishments under his belt: from being drafted by the
Minnesota Twins in the first round of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft
straight out of high school, being tabbed a 2008 Baseball America Rookie All-Star in his first professional season,
to batting .318 with four home runs, 27 runs batted in, twelve stolen bases and
28 walks for the Gulf Coast League Twins to earn a Gulf Coast League postseason
All-Star nod shows that this young man is definitely a player to watch. Yet,
one cannot look past his current standings after his first ten professional
games – he has tied the all-time record for strikeouts in his first ten games –
yet, the top five players on the list of all-time strikeouts have all gone on to
have pretty good careers.

So whether you’re just a fan of the
rookie or of the Minnesota twins, looking at their current standings, and their
six World Series titles, you might want to place some money on how far they
will be going in the Series. And if face to face betting isn’t for you, there
